ON THE SEWER.
Crop Prospects and Mining Prob
abilities Down There.

GLENwooD, Sewer County, Utah,
March 81, 1887.
To the Editor OF THE HERALD.
Farming has been going on briskly
for the last month, but the spring has
opened with the soil as dry as ashes,
and people do not venture to put in
grain till the water is in the bitches
ready to water it up. Friday we had a
little shower and on Saturday a very
little snow; and then it cleared up and
froze all the peach, plum and cherry
buds. which were quite advanced and
almost ready to burst open.
Work is being rushed on the Yer
million Canal, which is being widened
to twenty feet, and will extend some
twenty-five miles, but fear the water
win not be in the canal early enough to
get the benefit OF high waters to lrrl-
gate the large tracts of land that are
being put in under the canal-1f, indeed,
there be such q thing as high waters
this season in the SeYier Valley; by the
time the snow on the mountain
TOPS has melted and flown over hot
rocks and dry ground, to the
river below, the greater part
will have eyaporated, I fear. 1t Is re-
ported. there is lots of snow high up IN
The mountains, yet it is very evident
that water will be scarce, judging from
the bare mountains in sight.
I think it Is generally believed that
this will be bad season for drops IN
this district; but in Sanpete the grain
crops are mostly in and the soil sutti-
GENTLY moist to bring the seed up.
There is some vague talk OF railroads
coming this way-and all the people
say, Amen. Yes, indeed, you say
truly that q railroad through Utah
would be a greater boom than
thousand Tucker-Edmunds bills. Even
in our little town we had tannery
started woolen-factory on foot,
roller-nliIls "cut and dried" and many
other enterprises put on foot; but
where are they now? One man told
me if he had million dollars he would
not invest dollar in any speculation
now.
There has been little mining going
on about here. Two Cook brothers say
they have struck good ore IN ouI
neighhorhood, but after working the
legal assessment, they have closed the
mine and gone to Oregon, to make a
raise.
Hsinsworth brothers have struck
something good" having gone down
about forty or fifty feet; but fear the
have gone deeper into their pocket:
and will soon have to suspend
operations and go for the grub pile
They say they have good prospects o.
copper, silver. bismuth, and a very
little gold.
Cattle and sheep have done well The
past winter, aud grass is now good or
the mountain sides.

the GLOBE" says an old resident.

A Story of Two Cats.

At the time'of the recent strike of the
tobacco workers in 2. Lorriilsrd & Co. IS
factory in Jersey City, there were two
pet cats in the factory which were in
separable. One of them went out with
the strikers, but the other remained in
the factory, and when the strike was
over the striking cat went back with
the hands. 1t refused, however, to
associate with the faithful cat. The
two met by accident yesterday on one OF
the floors of the factory. and the cat
that went out pitched into the other cat
and thrashed it. { Now the victorious
cat travels about the factory with red
white and blue ribbon around its neck
placed there by. its Knights of Labor
admirers.-New York San.

A Plague ofRats.

The rat threatens to be as destructive
in the Neilgherries in India as the rabbit
is in Australia. The hills are overrun
by them. The fields of the ryots, are
honeycombed by them. On estates
hundreds of tea trees have been up-
rooted by them, and bushels of coffee
may be gathered that has been picked
by them. Growers OF potatoes and
vegetables have had their crops de
stroyed BY them, and residents and
visitors have experienced what pest
they become in the houses. . It is sug-
gested that the breeding of such birds as
the eagle, the hawk and the owl. which
prey upon rats, should be encouraged

A Cat Eats a Bank Note

A few days ago the cure of parish
not far from Bordeaux was on the
point OF sitting down to dinner, when
one of the parishioners came to ask him
to change 100 franc note After CIV
ing the change, the cure placed the note
on the sideboard, but a gust of wind
came and blew it right into a plate OF
soup. His reverence fished cut the
note, wiped it and put it to dry on the
window ledge. Soon afterward slight
noise attracted the attention of the cure,
who, on turning his head, saw his cat
busy devouring the bank note. When
the creature could be caught there was
nothing left of the precious paper but 8
very small corner. Pussy that day
made an expensive, but unsubstantial
repast.

A Mother Rats Sorrow

The other day rats nest was found
1t was lined with paper and straw and
in it were eight little rats. It did moi
take long to decide the fate of the little
hearts. they were with weight con-
signed to bucket of water. In few
minutes old mother rat returned to seek
her babies; alas, they were gone, her
soft nest gone too, and although ghe
bucket with the dead rats had been
placed at least fifty feet from where the
nest was, the mother rat discovered it,
and into the bucket of water she went,
and there we saw her trying to rescue
her drowned children. It was a sad
sight, if it was only a rat mourning her

A Mistake Corrected by the Late

Nowadays. when subscriber gets 30

the late Horace Greeley, the well-known
editor of the New York Tribune. Pass

City, one morning, he met one OF his
readers, who exclaimed
"Mr. Greeley, after that article you
published this morning, intend to stop
your paper"
"Oh, MOI" said Mr.. Greeley, don't dc
that"
"Yes, sir; my mind is made up; l
intend to stop the paper"
The angry subscriber was not to be
appeased and they separated. Late II
the afternoon the two met again, when
Mr.. Greeley remarked:
Mr.. Thompson, am very, glad you
did not carry out your threat this
morning"
WHAT DO you mean?"
"Why, you said you were going to

Bats in the Mammoth Cave.

Looking up at the sides of the great
dome in the mammoth cave, 1 asked the
guide what the large black spots were.
For answer he went to the nearest and
tenderly took down small bat. There
we're, I think, millions OF them, all
hanging by the feet, heads down, and in
a comatose condition. They spend the
winter hanging up here. and appear to

than chang separately" Although in
